I don’t want to came off as simping for Capcom because they’re are a corporation and thus are only profit-driven. But I do want to give credit where credit is due. Greenlighting a sequel despite the first attempt being a flop is not something that many publishers would do. This wouldn’t be the last of Capcom’s unorthodox decisions. When the industry was laying off workers left and right, Capcom actually increased their employees pay. If that increase was actually a substantial increase or not I don’t know but other companies won’t even consider increasing employee pay by a cent.

No imperialist (system) is going to stop me!

Same. I would like to have a 4WD overland rig that doesn’t pollute the air while I enjoy nature. Don’t tell the guys over at !fuckcars@lemmy.world this but I kinda want a Rivian R1S but with a near $100K USD price tag, It’s probably never going to happen. I’ll just stick with eMTBs.

Squinting your eyes on the smaller numbers on the speedometer. I do it all the time!

That’s one way to annouce your intentions.

As a Skyrim-first Elder Scrolls fan who only played and beat Oblivion for the first time this year, I feel happy for you Oblivion fans. This remaster was long overdue.

You starting to sound a bit like a 1930s German Bobby boy.

If you have the technical-know-how and the patience, you can install LineageOS on unsupported devices. It might be unstable but, again, if you know what you are doing, you can get around many of the issues.

Libre Office.

Here’s a another tale of a helicopter-related prison break:

During the 1970s, Ireland (specifically Northern Ireland northern province of Ulster) entered a period of conflict known as ‘The Troubles.’ The conflict was mostly concentrated in the north but occasionally would spill into the rest of Ireland. One notable (and devastating) example was the dual car bombings in Dublin and Monaghan in 1973. But the funniest episode of ‘The Troubles’ would also happen in the Republic that same year.

Because of the violence in the north, the Irish government took steps to stop activity related to Republican (not the American GOP kind) paramilitaries such as the Provisional IRA and their smaller and more openly communist rival INLA. This was in spite of a sympathetic population. The party Fine Gael came to power with an anti-crime promise (sound familiar?) and another promise to put a stop to all paramilitary activity in the country.

On the morning of Halloween, 1973, the IRA hijacked a helicopter and told its pilot to fly towards a prison on the outskirts of Dublin called Mountjoy. The helicopter landed in the prison yard and, despite the commotion, were able to secure the IRA members that were intended for the escape. This led to a large a manhunt involving both the police and the military. Two of the men were recaptured not long after but one of them wouldn’t be recaptured until 1977 - a whole 5 years later!

Here goes nothing:

Fuck Trump and his cronies of his so-called “administration”!

It was nice knowing all of you.

While do find myself using Lemmy a little too much, because of the lack of time-wasting and dopamime-hitting algorithms, I find less incentive to spend more time on Lemmy and other Fediverse socials.

Because AI is going to fuck us in the ass with no protection.

From the article:

The commerce secretary added on X that he and Treasury secretary Scott Bessent “sat with the President while he wrote one of the most extraordinary Truth posts of his Presidency”

Next time I’m feeling down, I’ll just remember that someone felt the need to post on Xitter that he helped Trump write down his best posts on some shit social.

I immediately thought of this tune for some reason.

Ken Langone blasted Trump’s sweeping tariffs as “bulls–t,” calling the 10% across-the-board rate and country-specific hikes—like 34% on China and 46% on Vietnam—“too aggressive” and poorly calculated.

Well, you should’ve thought about that before you donated money to him.

Megadonor? More like Mega-simp.

SIGN OF THE REVOLUTION!

Yes, Nintendo! Please paywall my nostalgia of the very first game console I ever played! Charge me an exorbitant price during an economic crisis to satisfy my childlike need to regress to a time before I understood what money was!

The puppet cut his string and the master isn’t too happy. This is one is for the history books.

Probably not the best advice considering the current economic situation but you could cut your losses and restart on Steam. Buy the games there and your kids can probably still do what they did on Xbox. You probably already know this but Steam has a Big Picture Mode which makes it more controller friendly and nicer for large TV displays. Keep a keyboard and mouse handy for when things need technical support.
